What are the 3 types of bucket elevators?

Bucket elevator is a kind of mechanical equipment used for vertical conveying of materials, widely used in chemical industry, metallurgy, building materials, food and other fields. According to the structure and use of the hoist, it can be divided into various types. From the perspective of bucket elevator, it can be divided into the following three types.

1. TD Bucket Elevator

TD bucket elevator, also known as chain bucket elevator, is a common bucket elevator. Its characteristic is that the chain is used as the transmission part of the elevator, and the bucket is the device on which the chain is hung. When working, the motor drives the sprocket to rotate through the electrical transmission device, thereby driving the bucket on the chain to run along the straight track of the hoist. This type of hoist has the characteristics of simple structure, convenient operation and convenient maintenance, and is widely used in cement, mining, building materials and other industries. Moreover, the TD bucket elevator has the advantages of strong carrying capacity and long conveying distance, and is a very practical material lifting equipment.

2. HL bucket elevator

HL bucket elevator, also known as ring wheel bucket elevator, is another common bucket elevator. Its structural feature is that the rolling ring wheel is used as the transmission part of the hoist, and the bucket is a mounting part fixed on the ring wheel. When working, the motor drives the ring wheel to rotate through the reducer, thereby driving the bucket to run along the ring track of the hoist. Because its overall structure and working principle are similar to TD bucket elevator, it also has the advantages of easy addition and maintenance. HL bucket elevator is widely used in chemical industry, metallurgy, building materials and other industries.

3. Belt elevator

The belt elevator uses a strong rubber belt as the moving part, and the bucket is a petal piece hanging on the belt. When working, the motor transmits force to the belt through the reducer, so that the belt drives the petals to run along the straight track of the hoist. Because the moving part adopts a strong rubber belt instead of a chain or ring wheel, the D-flap elevator has the characteristics of stronger bearing capacity, stable operation and low noise, and is widely used in food, chemical, pharmaceutical and other fields.

To sum up, there are mainly three types of bucket elevators: TD bucket elevator, HL bucket elevator and D flap elevator. When purchasing, it should be selected according to comprehensive factors such as different working environments, material properties, and operating requirements, so as to achieve the best delivery effect.
